The model projects this game to see the 5th-smallest number of plays run among all games this week at 126.0 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The Steelers have run the 7th-fewest plays in the league since the start of last season, totaling a lowly 56.4 plays per game.The pass games of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still weather conditions (2-mph wind) being forecasted in this game, while rush volume may slide.While Jaylen Warren has accounted for 29.1% of his offense's rushing play calls in games he has played since the start of last season, the leading projections forecast him to be a much smaller part of Pittsburgh's rushing attack this week at 17.6%.As it relates to the defensive tackles' role in run defense, Los Angeles's group of DTs has been excellent since the start of last season, profiling as the 4th-best in the league.
